Gardiner County Park - Central Islip

This is an excellent spot to bring your dog. They have 3 different areas for dogs (large, small, and agility) and you must take a sandy path to get to the promenade. Make sure to wear sturdy hiking shoes to avoid getting them dirty and muddy, especially in the sandy beach area covered with debris and seaweed. This was perfect for my pup! Don't forget to bring some bug spray as there are lots of mosquitoes. My dog and family enjoyed the visit and we will definitely return.

"Scenic county park with picturesque walks and trails leading to the bay. The park is dog-friendly, but be prepared for mosquitoes. There is a small secluded beach with stunning views of Fire Island."

What a great place with something for everyone! Our dog is dog friendly but not into the dog park scene. So instead we walked the tails to the beach and laid on a blanket which is way more her scene!

A wonderful park for all to get exercise or sit and take in beautiful scenery lots of green blue skies, on my favorite sunshine days . Bring your favorite chair to sit in dog park ,or under cover to enjoy a meal share a recipe with family or friends. Parking close to dog park, outdoor tables and grills, to set up for a afternoon stay. Come and take a pause!

This is a fantastic park for dog owners to take their furry friends for a walk. The scenic path leading to the water creates a peaceful atmosphere for relaxation. Highly recommended for dog lovers.
